Robust warbler found near the ground in thick vegetation. Yellow below with blue-gray head and olive back. Adult males show black chest patch. Females are paler gray on the head; immatures are more olive-toned with a yellowish throat. Breeds in brushy, weedy clearings within mixed or coniferous forest. Often favors raspberry thickets. Tends to stay hidden in low vegetation, so can be difficult to see. Listen for its rolling song, “churry churry churry chew.” Most similar to MacGillivray’s Warbler, but little range overlap, and Mourning has somewhat shorter tail and lacks bold white eye-arcs. Also frequently confused with Common Yellowthroat, especially in fall, but Mourning is larger, with heftier pinkish bill, and brighter yellow underparts. (eBird)
You almost never see a Mourning Warbler high in a tree, so seeing this male out in the open, singing his heart out to potential mates, was very exciting. Previously, I had had only a quick glimpse of a face deep in the shrubs.

Jolie floraison automnale de mon jardin.
La Chelone obliqua (on prononce «ké-LONNE») ou Galane, en anglais Turtlehead, est une robuste plante vivace originaire de l'Illinois qui s'est répandue dans le quart sud-est de l'Amérique du Nord, mais se fait rare à l'état sauvage dans certains états. Les horticulteurs par contre commercialisent des cultivars et des hybrides à usage ornemental.
En effet, cette plante produit une touffe dense et non envahissante de tiges solides et parfaitement dressées de 60 à 90 cm de hauteur. Les feuilles au vert très foncé sont attrayantes tout l’été, mais sa particularité ce sont ses belles fleurs roses qui dominent à l’automne, une période où les floraisons sont plus rares.
C’est donc une vedette du jardin automnal car à la toute fin de l’été et à l’automne, cette plante forme de d’étranges fleurs. Elles s’épanouissent sur un court épi au sommet de chaque tige et elles sont curieusement assemblées, étant plutôt fermées à l’extrémité, avec seulement une petite ouverture qui ressemblent à un bec et attirent les colibris. Les Acadiens trouvaient que la fleur ressemblait à une tête de tortue d’où son nom botanique, Chelone, qui est le nom grec pour tortue. Le nom couramment utilisé – galane – dériverait d’une mauvaise prononciation de Chelone, tout simplement.
A robust, squirrel-like rodent found in alpine grasslands throughout the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. Adults typically weigh between 4 and 9.2 kg, with a body length of 45–67 cm and a tail measuring 12–15 cm. They have thick fur and adaptations that help them endure cold, high-altitude environments.
These are very social animals living in colonies and we sighted them in good numbers on the side of mountain roads during our trip. They were playing with each other, seemingly hugging at time and foraging together. Their burrowing behavior not only provides shelter but also supports communal hibernation for six to eight months each year. These marmots feed primarily on grasses and flowering alpine plants. Marmots in the wild have an average lifespan of about 15 years.
The species plays a key ecological role in alpine meadows, supporting predators such as snow leopards, wolves, and large raptors.
La conchiglia è robusta, globulare, leggermente schiacciata nelle forme giovanili, con un diametro di 15-20 mm ed una altezza di 10-15 mm, e 5-6 spire leggermente convesse.
La colorazione di fondo è biancastra con riflessi porcellanacei, con fasce brune di vario spessore, che possono anche essere assenti. Quando presenti, possono essere in forma di spirale ininterrotta o tratteggiata, o di piccole macchie radiali. Il piede è di colore chiaro.
Si differenzia da altre specie simili, come p.es. Cernuella virgata e Eobania vermiculata, per l'ombelico molto piccolo e quasi interamente coperto e per il peristoma di colore rosa, tondeggiante, leggermente obliquo, talora tagliente negli esemplari adulti.
Distribuzione e habitat
Questa specie è diffusa in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo.
È stata introdotta in numerose altre aree incluse il nord Europa, il Nord America, parte dell'Africa, Asia, e Australia, dove è divenuta spesso una specie invasiva, costituendo un serio problema per l'agricoltura.
È una specie tipica degli ambienti dunali, ma che si spinge anche all'interno, specie in prossimità di fiumi. Non è raro incontrarla anche in ambienti antropizzati.
Biologia.
Ha l'abitudine di estivare in posizioni molte esposte (steli di piante, staccionate), formando aggregati spesso molto numerosi; frequentemente è in associazione con Cochlicella acuta e Cernuella virgata.

Mes dernières randonnées ont été l'occasion de rencontrer souvent, parmi les herbes au bord des sentiers cette orchidée étrange, qui semble se plaire aussi dans mon jardin, à tel point que j'ai dû en passant la tondeuse en contourner un pied particulièrement sans-gêne qui s'était installé au bord de l'allée pavée. L'avantage est que je n'ai que quelques pas à faire pour m'assurer que sa réputation olfactive n'est pas usurpée !
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchis_bouc :
L’orchis bouc (Himantoglossum hircinum) ou himantoglosse à odeur de bouc est une espèce d'orchidées terrestres européennes. On l'appelle parfois loroglosse à odeur de bouc (Loroglossum hircinum).
[Cette plante robuste peut] atteindre 1 m. Elle possède de nombreuses feuilles d'un vert grisâtre qui apparaissent en automne, persistent l'hiver puis se flétrissent à la floraison. L'inflorescence est cylindrique et assez dense, fleurs verdâtres bordées de pourpre, sépales et pétales rassemblés en casque, labelle très allongé, jusqu'à 6 cm, enroulé, plus ou moins déployé à l'horizontale à la floraison, peu échancré à l'extrémité. Odeur marquée caractéristique, proche de celle du bouc (perceptible uniquement à proximité immédiate de la fleur).

Localisation :
Méditerranéo-atlantique, assez localisé et rare (mais parfois abondant dans ses stations).
Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, gray back, and red eyering. Females duller with a gray hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodland, gardens, coast, and plantations. Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."

Hace más o menos 1.300 años, dos canoas cargadas de animales y plantas, tripuladas por un grupo de polinesios robustos desembarcaron en la bahía de Anakena y colonizaron lo que luego se convertiría en el punto más aislado del Triángulo polinesio. Basta echar una mirada a las costas que rodean la isla para comprender por qué eligieron desembarcar aquí. Al poco tiempo Anakena llegaría a ser uno de los puntos más importantes de la isla y centro religioso de la tribu Miru.
La playa más importante de la isla; ideal para bañarse y tomar el sol. Cuenta también con lugares para disfrutar de comidas rápidas y hacer picnic.
Diese robuste, widerstandsfähige und abgehärtete Pferderasse wird in der Wistinghauser Senne bei Oerlinghausen zusammen mit Schottischen Hochlandrindern zur Waldbeweidung eingesetzt. Durch Verbiss und Tritt sollen sie dauerhaft mehr Licht und somit mehr Wärme an den Waldboden bringen. Damit soll die historische Heidelandschaft wieder hergestellt werden.

... nor more robust than its woody stalk,
for we must remember that it is a tree as well as a flower,
we must try not to forget this.

The Vosgienne is a French bovine breed of medium size robust and well adapted to the mountain, found mainly in the Vosges mountains.
La cornacchia grigia è l’altra specie presente nel nostro Paese; si distingue con una certa facilità dagli altri uccelli della famiglia dei Corvidi per il suo piumaggio: il dorso e le parti inferiori sono di color grigio chiaro, mentre la testa, la gola, le ali e la coda sono di colore nero. Nero è anche il becco, robusto e lievemente ricurvo. Ne esistono quattro sottospecie.
È diffusa nella cosiddetta zona paleartica; nel nostro Paese è un specie stanziale. Nel mese di marzo inizia a costruire il suo nido ove poserà quattro o cinque uova che verranno covate per circa tre settimane.

Castaños robustos se alzan al cielo, frondosas sus ramas, desnudos al verlos, como desnudas las cepas, pues es el invierno, se ciernen nubarrones con su manto negro, el sol lucha por lucir entre dos de ellos, claro cielo azul se escapa para dar luz al pasto que vemos (P.E.M.M)

A robust looking damselfly with a dark greyish abdomen and a blue "tail" in the male. The eyes of the male are deep red and the thorax in both sexes is bronze black on top. The female has short, yellowish ante-humeral lines.
Found in lakes, gravel pits, canals and slow-flowing rivers. The males often sit on water lily leaves defending their leaf from allcomers.
The similar, but smaller, Small Red-eyed Damselfly is sometimes found in the same habitat and careful observation is needed to distinguish the two species. Could be confused with the Blue-tailed Damselflies Ischnura elegans and I. pumilio, but these are smaller less robust looking insects and do not have red eyes.
Capuchin monkeys - young brothers - wild. The capuchin is considered to be the most intelligent New World monkey. I love their expressions.

The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa.
The defassa waterbuck is a large, robust animal with long, shaggy hair and a brown-gray coat that emits an oily secretion from its sweat glands, which acts as a water repellent. It also has large, rounded ears and white patches above the eyes, and around the nose and mouth and throat.
Despite its name, the waterbuck is not actually aquatic. Rather, they are frequently found in the vicinity of rivers and lakes. They will often venture into the water to escape predators. Within all of the species in this genus, the waterbuck spends the least amount of time in wet areas, often venturing out into woodlands.
This very beautiful female Defasa Waterbuck was captured on a photography safari, quenching her thirst at a watering hole, during an early morning game drive in Tsavo West National Park, Kenya.
The CC-295 Kingfisher is a Canadian military aircraft used for search and rescue missions. Developed by Airbus, it is based on the C295M platform. The aircraft features advanced avionics, extended range, and a robust airframe, making it ideal for operations in Canada's diverse and challenging environments.

The sun had already disappeared when Carolina spotted this incredible scene while driving through the Apalachicola National Forest. We quickly turned around and I took my tripod down to the water's edge to take advantage of the rapidly vanishing ambient light. I was hoping for a different composition, however as soon as I eased into the water I realized that it became very deep very fast, and the bottom consisted of loose mud that quickly swallowed my leg up to my knee.
Luckily I was able to find this nice clump of plants close to the shore, and set about capturing a few frames, which I later manually focus stacked. After finishing up, Caro and I enjoyed watching a number of bats exit an adjacent culvert and fly just above the waters surface in pursuit of the swarm of mosquitoes and other insects emerging for the evening.
The caracal is a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and India. It is characterised by a robust build, long legs, a short face, long tufted ears, and long canine teeth. Its coat is uniformly reddish tan or sandy, while the ventral parts are lighter with small reddish markings. It reaches 40–50 cm at the shoulder and weighs 8–19 kg. It was first scientifically described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Three subspecies are recognised.
Typically nocturnal, the caracal is highly secretive and difficult to observe. It is territorial, and lives mainly alone or in pairs. The caracal is a carnivore that typically preys upon small mammals, birds, and rodents. It can leap higher than 4 metres (12 ft) and catch birds in midair. It stalks its prey until it is within 5 m (16 ft) of it, after which it runs it down and kills its prey with a bite to the throat or to the back of the neck. The average lifespan of captive caracals is nearly 16 years.
Coralorhiza trifida (Korallenwurz, coralroot), Handlgraben, Polster, Steiermark, Austria. This orchid species is more robust than thought. I have been observing this location for years The plants Isurvived a forest clear cut just next to their habitat. Also their closeness to the forest track made no harm neither by trucks nor by hikers.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you!
The Blood Moon is a no frills starfighter with no explosives, energy weapons, or terribly robust shields. Its job is punching new ventilation shafts through enemy ships with its two powerful cannons, and letting the vacuum of space do the dirty work. It relies on its speed to get away as it has little defense against return fire.
I built this over the course of about 5 weeks. The ideas that led to it started off long before that, though, as I was toying with an idea for a drone fighter. I wanted to revisit the color scheme that I used in my cyberpunk hopper car. Dark red as the main color earned it the working title Blood Moon. I got stuck on that for awhile, then started over with a very different design in a different color scheme, now featuring a cockpit. After going away on vacation for a bit, I returned and started over again, returning to the original color scheme, and something a bit closer to the original concept than the direction I'd started to veer off into with the first restart.
On top of my original sketch, I took some inspiration from present day lifting body aircraft. With the exception of the tail, the side profile has a deliberate airfoil shape.
The thing that finally got me going somewhere, after spinning my wheels for a while, was the #69754 tile shooter, which I used in the engines of my previous spacecraft, the Astral Vortex.
The cockpit came next. I really wanted to put the nose way out in front on this one, because I've done a lot of hiding it between cannons or Vic Viper prongs on past builds, which has let me focus less on the shaping. I originally wanted to brick-build a sleeker version of the classic 2507 windscreen in trans neon green. I didn't have those hinged wing parts that make the side in the right color, so I temporarily used black, and by the time I got the parts in my intended color it had evolved and I liked the black better.
Another of my frequent habits, showing up in nearly every spacecraft I've built since the Ugly Duckling, is using a lot of white brick in my hulls. I like that look, and I certainly don't plan to abandon it, but this time around I decided to use none at all for the sake of trying something different. The goal was to achieve a darker grittier look, while still keeping the high contrast that comes with spanning a wide range of shades.
This is one of my more complicated builds in terms of weird out-of-system geometry. There are few 90 degree angles to be found, anywhere. They only visible part with studs not at some weird out of system angle from the frame is the small recessed panel in front of the intake below the black pipe.

I underestimated the length of the build while it was still in progress, and the display stand mount wound up being significantly in front of the center of gravity. It was a bit late to change that by the time I was far along enough to know where the true center of gravity would be. It's locked to the frame, so it's not going to fall off no matter where it's attached. But the base still needs to be kind of centered below the center of gravity, which put the neck close to the front. I decided to take advantage of this by mirroring the delta shape of the wings in the display stand base.

One of the weirder sights in Loch Eck is this little tree managing to survive and prosper in the middle of the loch. Nature can be such a robust thing!
Huîtrier pie est un oiseau de rivage. Ce robuste échassier assez trapu est entièrement noir et blanc : tête, cou, haut de poitrine et dos noirs ; ailes et queue noir et blanc. Le bec, long et rectiligne, est rouge orangé. Les pattes sont roses. Il n'y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel, mâles et femelles sont absolument identiques.
L'Huîtrier pie montre un fort attachement aux côtes soumises à l'influence des marées pour des raisons alimentaires. Il préfère donc les côtes maritimes peu profondes et les îles, les embouchures de fleuves et de rivières. Les parties du littoral utilisées pendant la période de reproduction doivent présenter un substrat permettant de gratter la cuvette du nid. Il niche entre autres sur les plages de rochers, de galets et de sable ainsi que dans les dunes primaires et secondaires.
Eastern variant.
Described variously as inelegant, robust, stocky, heavily built, and drab. I think they are pretty awesome.

La cardencha (Dipsacus fullonum [= D.sylvestris]) es una hierba magnífica, robusta, bienal –es decir, que florece, fructifica y se seca en el segundo año-, con tallos cuadrangulares repletos de pequeños aguijones o acúleos. Sus hojas son grandes, lanceoladas con el margen recortado en formas punzantes, sésiles, de color verde claro con el nervio medial ancho, resaltado en blanco y con aguijones adicionales en el reverso. Estas hojas se disponen opuestas en pares y, especialmente las de la base del tallo, están algo soldadas de manera que forman un pequeño cuenco donde se acumula el agua de lluvia y donde no es raro encontrar insectos ahogados. Si la parte vegetativa de la cardencha ya es característica, la inflorescencia no es menos espectacular. Se trata de un gran capítulo ovoide, densamente erizado de brácteas punzantes. Cada bráctea protege una flor que, al abrirse, mostrará una corola soldada en tubo, de color rosa violáceo y, a diferencia de las flores de la familia compuestas, 4 estambres libres. Primero se abrirán las flores que ocupan la franja central de la inflorescencia y, días más tarde, lo harán las de las franjas de arriba y abajo. A modo de fortificación de defensa adicional, posee además unas elegantes hojas transformadas, estrechas y punzantes, que se curvan y se dirigen hacia arriba, hasta superar con creces la altura de la inflorescencia.
La cardencha vive en las buenas tierras húmedas cercanas a los arroyos y en los bordes de las acequias.
Los capítulos secos de una variedad cultivada se habían utilizado para cardar la lana, por lo que se conoce a la planta también como cardo de cardadores. Fuente: ichn2.iec.cat/Bages//z-humides/Imatges%20grans/cDipsacus%...
Heliconia cultivars are robust garden plants in the sub-tropical Gold Coast hinterland. This one grows in a barrel in shaded corner of my home garden. I brought this stem inside to control the light and wind movement for this image. The plant itself is a bit scruffy so this selective image does it more than justice.
Der Robust 900 A (S) gehört mit seinen leistungsschwächeren "Brüdern", Brillant 600 A und Brillant 700 A zu den ersten Traktoren der Hanomag, mit serienmäßig verbautem Allradantrieb.

Crinum or Swamp Lily (Crinum pedunculatum) presents its first blooms of the spring in my Gold Coast hinterland garden. Each stem produces about twenty blooms eventually. It is a popular and robust garden plant in northern Australian gardens and is native to Australia and Papua New Guinea and a few Pacific Islands. I like the anthers!
Yesterday morning we came upon this large dead squid that had washed up. You just never know what you might find when you walk the beach!
After some online searching, I think this may be a so-called robust clubhook squid, which is one of the larger squids and a relatively rare find on the beach.
There is really no way I would ever encounter such an animal where it lives, and so I must be satisfied with the mystery and the excitement of finding its remains unexpectedly.
It does something to you to find a creature you cannot identify and have never seen before. It's like for a moment you lock eyes with Life itself.
Also called the Bridge of Lies is one of the first cast iron bridge to be built in Europe and the third cast iron bridge built on the territory of today's Romania and Transylvania, the first being built in 1841.
The bridge is the oldest cast iron bridge in service on the territory of Romania.
Considered to be a forged iron gem, The Bridge of Lies is one of the most important symbols of the city.
Rebuilt in 1859 (made in the Friedrich Hütte workshops) in the former location of a gate bridge belonging to the 2nd fortification wall. The initially vaulted passage used to be made through an conglomerate of buildings which had been demolished in 1851: the Town’s Scale, the selling market places belonging to the Cobblers, Shoemakers, Tailor’s, Baker’s guilds, the Milks’ Bridge, the house belonging to Baron Rosenfeld where it used to be the Law Academy, the Jikeli house with the chemist’s, the barber’s shop. In the same period the staircases on the western side of Ocnei Street were demolished.
A favorite strolling place for young couples, the bridge stands out due to its resistance pieces decorated with rosettes and a belt of elements placed in circles with decreasing sizes and adorned with vegetal and neo-gothic geometric motifs.
These bear on the southern side the coat of arms of Sibiu and on the northern side the inscriptions “1859” and “Friedrich Hütte”. The four pedestals at the extremity of the bridge, more robust and made in stone, sustain lighting devices made in cast iron. The metallic rail of the bridge consists of eight panels with circles in a gothic radial décor.
Il Ponte di robuste corde d'acciaio inaugurato il mese scorso unisce i due tronconi della "Strada del Re" Nel 2008 una grossa frana provocò il crollo di un tratto di questa strada che collega Pian delle Fugazze, l’Ossario e passo Campogrosso, interrompendo così uno dei più amati anelli escursionistici delle Piccole Dolomiti.
Lungo 105 metri è sospeso a 35 di altezza.
La vallata che si estende sotto di esso è la Val Leogra, nel territorio vicentino.
Questo ponte "tibetano" rientra nel piano VaPoRe (acronimo delle iniziali dei tre Comuni coinvolti in questo progetto, che sono Valli del Pasubio, Posina e Recoaro Terme): si tratta di un piano ambizioso, lanciato nel 2010 per la riqualificazione ed il rilancio turistico delle Piccole Dolomiti, che punta a realizzare una pista ciclo-pedonabile lunga oltre 20 chilometri che possa portare da Bocchetta Campiglia a Recoaro Mille, attraversando gli splendidi panorami delle vallate della Val Leogra e della Valle dell'Agno.
Hace semanas que no salgo al campo, pero hoy puedo subir unas cuantas fotillos, jeje, ahi unos Lestes dryas del mes pasado en Madrid, muchos ejemplares parasitados por ácaros rojos, como este, también sobre los Sympetrum sanguineum y presumiblemente sobre su huésped favorito, S. meridionale, aunque cuando fueron tomadas estas fotos estos aún no habían emergido.
Entre estos Lestes dryas se encontraba también algún L. sponsa, aunque yo no logré fotografiar ninguno.

El nombre de Iglesia de Santa María del Puerto, o cualquiera de sus variantes, Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Puerto, Iglesia de la Virgen del Puerto, o Iglesia de Santa María del Mar es el nombre de varios edificios cristianos, catalogados como iglesias en honor a la Bienaventurada Virgen María en la advocación de la Virgen del Puerto.
Visto desde el exterior el edificio presenta un aspecto macizo y robusto, que no transmite lo que encontraremos en el interior. El predominio de las líneas horizontales y de las secciones de pared sin grandes aberturas ni decoraciones es absoluto.
Interiormente es un edificio de tres naves, con deambulatorio y sin crucero. Las naves están formadas por cuatro tramos y el presbiterio consta de medio tramo y un polígono de siete lados, todo cubierto con una bóveda de crucería y coronado con magníficas llaves de bóveda. Formalmente, pues, tenemos un edificio de tres naves, pero parece como si el arquitecto hubiera querido dar la misma sensación de espacio que se consigue con una sola nave. Por eso separa bastante los pilares (15 metros) e iguala mucho las alzadas de las tres naves (1/8 menos las laterales que la central). El resultado es un espacio diáfano, que descarta la división del gótico europeo y se inclina por una idea de espacio único.
Merece la pena destacar la austeridad conseguida, una vez más, por las paredes lisas; por las columnas octogonales limpias, ya que los nervios terminan a nivel de los capiteles en lugar de llegar a tierra; por el hecho de que los arcos de las naves laterales y los de la central arrancan de la misma alzada (la línea de impostas, en los capiteles) que dan una mayor impresión de igualdad de las naves, etc.

Le xylocope (Xylocopa violacea) est un insecte ailé et dodu faisant partie de la très vaste famille des Hyménoptères. Il s'agit en fait d'une très grosse abeille, au corps poilu et massif pouvant mesurer 30 mm de longueur pour une envergure de 55 mm. Une fort belle bête donc, reconnaissable à son vol bruyant ressemblant à un gros bourdonnement et à sa couleur noire bleutée. Le Xylocope sort par temps chaud pour butiner le pollen des fleurs à l'aide de sa robuste "trompe". Cette dernière est surmontée de mandibules puissantes lui permettant de creuser le bois pour y faire son nid. Ce bel Hyménoptère présente 4 ailes membraneuses translucides teintées de violacé.
Malgré son aspect un peu impressionnant, cet insecte ne représente aucun danger pour l'homme et s'attaque seulement aux bois extérieurs s'ils sont déjà bien abîmés et donc tendres.
